From the people who brought us "green bullets," we now have plans for all-electric tanks to save the earth.

Which sounds more than a little odd, given the purpose of tanks.

But here's Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, testifying before Congress:

According to Fox News:

Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Wednesday that she supports efforts from the Biden administration to require the U.S. military to implement an all-electric vehicle fleet by 2030, telling lawmakers that she believes "we can get there."

Granholm's remarks came during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing following questions from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who asked the Biden administration official whether she supports the military's adoption of an "EV fleet by 2030."

"I do, and I think we can get there, as well," Granholm said. "I do think that reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally traded fossil fuels where we know that global events like the war in Ukraine can jack up prices for people back home… does not contribute to energy security."

"I think energy security is achieved when we have homegrown, clean energy that is abundant like you see in Iowa," Granholm added. "We think we can be a leader globally in how we have become energy independent."

if we beat our swords to plowshares we can end war...

yup. you will be annihilated and the victors will have no more need to wage war with you.

> Does she even know how many military devices are run by generators, which are run by fuel?? <

I guess they’re thinking about batteries, lots of batteries. Just swap ‘em out as needed. Just like with watch batteries.
You might ask, where do all those fresh batteries come from? Please, do not bother our genius leaders with small, unimportant details.

[grcuster]

Are we going to a “Time Out” with the enemy when the batteries have to be recharged? This woman along with the rest of this administration are fools. We won’t have a country by the time the next elections arrive as it will have been burned to the ground at the rate they are destroying this nation.

[skeeter]

I can’t imagine how heavy a 55 ton diesel tank would be if it were electric with batteries.

[Rdct29]

She must think the military can call a timeout during a battle to recharge the vehicles. We really need to get back to putting competent people in our government. Today we have a bunch of idiots running things.

[JonPreston]

I bet we’ll win a ton of new wars when we roll to the front in our golf carts.

Have Granholm divest her financial and investment interests in electrical transportation
For an administration that is so concerned about 'ethics' of Supreme Court Justices, they should start with themselves
Anywhere else, that is called "insider information" of her investments, and people have gone to jail for that
Obviously she is ignorant of World Warll history about the use of tanks during the Russian / German front during winter.
Can you imagine operating a tank in -30 below temperatures ? Can you imagine the milage that a tank would get in cold temperatures ?
Yeah, we could get there,.. but we couldn't get back !

People will die because of people like her.

The easiest way to fix all this mess is to eliminate 1/2 the world’s population. Get your Clot Shot today.

EMP isn’t magic. Shielding works. The military uses it.

[old curmudgeon]

too stupid to waste time countering, but:

Imagine 200 military vehicles traveling in convoy.

Time to stop and recharge batteries.

How do you recharge 200 vehicles with large enough batteries that it takes hours?

[GingisK]

I could do that tomorrow ... they’ll need bigger rockets.

[unclebankster]

Granholm didn’t know how many barrels of oil we consume daily in the US.

She is the Secretary of Energy in the Biden/Harris administration.

[AU72]

Didn’t Patton say that except for a few more charging stations we’d be in Germany by now.

[GingisK]

Look at the WWII German Maus

[Dilbert San Diego]

Where does electricity come from? It comes from the outlet in the wall, you plug things in. It’s just there.

sarcasm.

[Vision]

Clown world.

[unixfox]

Hey Iran, we will be using EV’s by 2030 on the battlefield. Just in case you want to use EMP’s or something.

[al_c]

And then when China uses an EMP on our military ... then what?

Somewhere, some poor miserable souls have to devote this stage of their military career to staffing ridiculous studies to meet the demands of this Canadian fruitcake lawyer
